Chapter 39 : Sunset Forest Anomaly

In fact, when the Golden Lotus reached 10,000 years of age, Lin Fan acquired a new, unique ability. It could be said that this ability did not belong to Lin Fan, as it came from the Golden Lotus itself.

Basically the Golden Lotus was a mutation of the White Lotus, previously strengthened with Heavens Path Spirit Essence. Therefore, the ability of the Golden Lotus was almost the same as the White Lotus, but stronger than its predecessor.

When White Lotus reaches the age of 10,000 years, they can produce a fruit that contains a lot of Life Essence, which is called the White Lotus Fruit.

The Golden Lotus is also the same, capable of producing the Golden Lotus Fruit when it reaches the age of 10,000 years. However, the Golden Lotus Fruit was more impressive than the White Lotus Fruit, which contained a large amount of Life Essence and Heavens Path Spirit Essence.

This makes anyone who consumes the Golden Lotus Fruit will undergo Body Cleansing, cleaning all toxins and impurities stored in the body. And whoever has undergone Body Cleansing, and consumes it again, the effect can increase the age of Spirit Beast Soul, Spirit Ring, and Spirit Bone!

With the Golden Lotus reaching the age of 10,000 years, it is able to increase to 10 years. And by reaching the age of 30,000 years, it is able to increase to 30 years!

However, the Golden Lotus Fruit had a different effect when consumed by Lin Fan. The effect of which was to only increase all of his stats to 100% within a few minutes.

Indeed the effect of the Golden Lotus Fruit was heaven-defying, leaving this fruit to have a drawback. Which can only be consumed once a day, and of course requires a lot of Spirit Essence to produce it. Even Lin Fan could only produce one fruit before running out of all his Essence.

Apart from the Golden Lotus Fruit, the effect of Spirit Refinement also increased quite a lot after the Golden Lotus reached 30,000 years of age, which was able to accelerate cultivation by up to 600%!

«Lin Fan»

• Age : 7 Years

• Gender : Male

• Spirit : Spirit Body (Unity), Spirit Soul (Unity)

• Spirit Rank : 14 (Spirit Master)

• Spirit Ring : 1 Black

• Spiritual Power : 2,600 (Spiritual Sea Realm)

• Physical Power: 28 (All-Rounder Type)

• Physical Constitution : Spirit Body (Unity), Life Affinity Physique, Wood Affinity Physique

• Spirit Beast Soul : Golden Lotus (30,000 Years)

———————————

During this one year, Lin Fan's Physical Power increased quite a lot. Because the increase in cultivation of the Golden Lotus can also affect the power of his body.

However, the most surprising growth was his Spiritual Power, which he was already almost halfway to the Spiritual Abyss Realm!

That's because of the influence of the Golden Lotus, which increases Physical Power and Spiritual Power, moreover the Heavens Path Soul Art is able to amplify Spiritual Power to the maximum according to how much the body can accommodate it.

And keep in mind, with the Spiritual Abyss Realm, a Spirit Master can hold a Red or Orange Spirit Ring!

During this year, Xiao Xiao's cultivation growth was also very impressive, as her cultivation and her three Spirit Bones had reached 30,000 years!

Xiao Xiao was already able to cultivate on her own with the Heavens Path Divine Art, which made her no longer need Lin Fan's help.

However, Lin Fan still helped Xiao Xiao to increase the age of Spirit Bone, because Spirit Bone could only be upgraded with Heaven's Path Body Art, moreover it required a lot of Life Essence.

...

"So strange, why is it so hard to find it?" Lin Fan said.

During this year, apart from training to gain fighting experience, Lin Fan also had other goals that he wanted to achieve.

The main reason he chose the Sunset Forest was to find the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well!

All Douluo Dalu fans would know this Ice Fire Yin Yang Well, because this place was very famous as a very suitable place for cultivation. Moreover, this place became a paradise for special plants commonly called Immortal Herbs!

Indeed, not all Spirit Masters and Spirit Beasts can cultivate in this place, because the body can slowly disintegrate due to changes in cold and hot temperatures.

However, Lin Fan firmly believed that this place could be a great tonic for him, because he cultivated using the Heavens Path Divine Art!

Of course, Lin Fan's only goal was to find the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well without entering it, because he firmly believed that it was still being guarded by Dugu Bo. And Lin Fan himself didn't want to deal with this old man before having the Heavens Path Poison Art.

Even though Lin Fan could have overcome Dugu Bo's poison with just the Heavens Path Divine Art, he still wanted to increase his success by obtaining the Heavens Path Poison Art first.

...

One week later.

The search for Ice Fire Yin Yang Well was completely fruitless, but Lin Fan discovered an extremely terrifying anomaly.

During this one week, Lin Fan discovered that the number of Spirit Beasts had drastically decreased. Even Lin Fan had only encountered 2 Spirit Beasts this week.

At first, Lin Fan thought that the decrease in the number of Spirit Beasts was only natural, because they were always being hunted by Spirit Masters. But the strange thing happened when Xiao Xiao felt anxious to run in a certain direction!

And when Lin Fan used the Library of Heavens Path to check Xiao Xiao's condition, he was surprised that she was in a state of temptation!

Luckily, Xiao Xiao had the Skull Bone, which was able to withstand the temptation. And coupled with the Heavens Path Divine Art, which was able to stabilize her condition.

However, this thing made Lin Fan curious, and decided to check it out!

"Could it be, this is what makes the number of Spirit Beasts decrease?"

...

In three days, Lin Fan arrived at a place that might have reduced the number of Spirit Beasts.

Currently, Lin Fan and Xiao Xiao were hiding behind the trees, while checking into a place not far from their hiding place.

It was a fairly large courtyard, in the center of which was a strange engraving in blood, which was guarded by three Spirit Masters wearing black robes and simple masks.

Lin Fan knew that those engravings were Formation Arrays!

"What are they doing?"

Lin Fan used the Library of Heavens Path to examine the three of them, and he was shocked by the data he got!

The three Spirit Masters were Evil Spirit Masters!

Those three Evil Spirit Masters possessed terrifying Martial Spirits, all three of them were Blood Mist Demons!

The Blood Mist Demon is a unique and dangerous Martial Spirit, because it has the ability to turn any living being into Crimson Essence when touched.

In fact, Spirit Bones would become Crimson Essence when touched by them!

`Apparently, the disappearance of the Spirit Beasts is their doing` thought Lin Fan.

The three Evil Spirit Masters had cultivations up to Rank 50+, but there was something odd about them.

According to the Library of Heavens Path, the three of them had a bit of the consciousness of a Limit Douluo, or a Spirit Master who had already reached Rank 99!

In addition, the function of the Formation Array that they guarded was also very unique, which was able to seduce Spirit Beasts and then gather Crimson Essence into its core.

And within that core, was a seed that belonged to the Tree of Life!

SHHSHSHSHH!

While Lin Fan was watching them, suddenly a 10,000 year old Spirit Beast appeared near the Formation Array.

Gradually, the Spirit Beast approached one of the Evil Spirit Masters, which in an instant turned into Crimson Essence, which was then absorbed into the Formation Array's core!

When Lin Fan saw this, he realized that the three Evil Spirit Masters were gathering Crimson Essence to accelerate the growth of the Tree of Life!

However, the seeds of the Tree of Life seemed to be stained, which was originally green but turned into a reddish-green color!

`What is their goal?`

Lin Fan didn't know their purpose, but he was sure that they had bad intentions. Moreover, their methods were extremely cruel, which allowed Spirit Beasts to experience extinction!

`But, they have Limit Douluo's consciousness... `

Lin Fan was eager to defeat the three, in order to stop their madness. Even though Lin Fan only cultivated to Rank 14, he could ask Xiao Xiao for help to defeat them.

But he thought again, because going against a Limit Douluo was suicide!

Finally, Lin Fan decided not to deal with the three Evil Spirit Masters, and then left.

`Well, I don't want to die in vain` thought Lin Fan.

However, all of a sudden, Lin Fan felt a heavy pressure before he turned around, which made him unable to move!

When Lin Fan came to his senses, he saw that the three Evil Spirit Masters were already staring at him at the same time!

"Sh*t!"
